It was NEVER legal for a range to be fed by a three prong receptacle in a mobile home.

Find a way to run a new cable.

Stoves and ranges do NOT come with 3 or 4 prong cords. You have to put them on.

I don't know the timeline of this code. It has just always been that way as long as I have read the code.
